Billy Gillespie, like any other mid major coach, would have bolted for greener pastures at a power conference school no matter what. It just so happened to be Texas A&M, which ultimately led him to Kentucky. Same thing for Doc Sadler (it’s Nebraska, man) and Tony Barbee (Auburn). The days of His Coachency Don Haskins staying at UTEP for 38 years died with him.

Funny thing is that at the end of the day ALL of them failed at the power conference schools

BG would have had to stay more than 4 or 5 extra years though. Gonzaga is Gonzaga because Few has been there for 25 years. UCLA was UCLA because of John Wooden. They aren’t UCLA anymore because of constant coaching changes. Kansas is Kansas because they’ve had 2 coaches in 40 years.

What would this program have become had Haskins stayed in Detroit?

Nice to think about, but Billy needs to continue taking care of Billy before anything else, or he won't have too many options other than just surviving. I wish him the best.

This is a great point. While he was here and at aTm, Gillispie didn't do a great job of keeping his demons in check, but he did a good enough job to keep them from affecting his job performance. Not so at Kentucky and Texas Tech.
